[Bug 226561] [NEW] Can't escape full screen mode

[James Legg]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When using full screen mode, there is no way to get out of it except
restarting firefox.

In Full screen mode, there is an auto-hiding tab bar, the web page, and nothing else.
Since I use a mac with a one button trackpad, I have middle click mapped to F11 (the default) and thus can't use the default Firefox shortcut for full screen. The right-click menu on the tab bar or the page does not include an exit full screen mode.
Pressing escape does nothing. Alt-tabbing out and back in again returns you to full screen mode.

Steps to reproduce:
-Select Full screen from the view menu

What happens:
-I get full screen web page, tab bar, and nothing else.

What I expect to happen:
-The resulting screen should have some obvious button at the top of the screen to exit full screen mode, with an obvious (and usable) keyboard shortcut.

This is with Firefox-3.0 on Ubuntu 8.04, powerpc architecture.
